I think we shouldn't make any distinction between tests, but should run all
tests with `rake test`, that's because all manual intervention causes
problems like just happened. I don't think that these tests interfere too
much while running, especially since they're not ran 24/7 on your desktop,
but right before needed. My suggestion would be to include all tests into
`rake test` or delete the tests which are not run. The less distinctions,
the better.

Done.
